Picasso






"Painting is freedom. If you jump, you might fall on the wrong side of the rope. But if you're not willing to take the risk of breaking your neck, what good is it? You don't jump at all. You have to wake people up. To revolutionize their way of identifying things. You've got to create images they won't accept. Force them to understand that they're living in a pretty queer world. A world that's not reassuring. A world that's not what they think it is."

~ Picasso as quoted by Kahnweiler in "The Rise of Cubism".

ENLIVEN YOURSELF


Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.

Success is living in such a way that you are using what God
has given you - -your intellect, abilities, and energy
--to reach the purpose He intends for your life.
